TTP becoming umbrella organisation for regional terror groups: Pakistan warns UNSC
[GEO.TV] As Pakistain continues to reel from the increased terror attacks in recent months, the country has warned the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
Security Council (UNSC) that the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban
...Arabic for students...
Pakistain (TTP) is emerging as an umbrella organization for regional terror groups.

The warning was highlighted by Pakistain's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Munir Akram during a UNSC meeting on Tuesday concerning the situation in Afghanistan wherein the envoy accentuated that the greatest threat to security and stability to the region arose from more than 20 terrorist organizations present in the neighbouring country.

Envoy Akram's remarks come against the backdrop of Pakistain's ongoing efforts to curb the menace of terrorism as the country, as per a Global Terrorism Index 2025 report, has emerged as the second-most terrorism-affected nation in the world.

Placed at the second spot from its previously fourth position — witnessed an alarming 45% increase in terrorism-related deaths with the total rising from 748 in 2023 to 1,081 in 2024 — one of the steepest surges globally.

The number of terror attacks more than doubled from 517 in 2023 to 1,099 in 2024, which also marked the first year that attacks exceeded the 1,000 mark since the inception of the Index.

The increase in terrorist attacks, as per the report, coincides with the rise of the Afghan Taliban to power in Kabul.

Undeterred, the country's security forces continue to take significant action against snuffies and even arrested Mohammad Sharifullah alias Jafar — a ISIS-Khorasan operative — on intelligence provided by America's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and handed him over to the United States.

The terrorist's arrest holds significance due to his status as the main suspect in the attack on the Abbey Gate suicide kaboom at the Kabul Airport in Afghanistan in 2021 which resulted in the deaths of at least 170 Afghans as well as 13 US troops.
